Container plants for drinking water treatment
– Drinking water gained from rivers and lakes
The ABIONIK container plant for drinking water treatment of water from rivers or lakes is a cost-saving compact plant which complies with all international WHO drinking water standards.
The plant is easy to operate, energy efficient. It can be delivered and put into operation at short notice, and contains all relevant components for drinking water production in a compact ecosystem. The plant is based on the ABIONIK MBR membrane technology and is therefore also suitable for further wastewater treatment, e.g. for the removal of phosphorus or heavy metals.
The following process steps are carried out in the plant for the production of drinking water:
- COAGULATION
A coagulant is added to the incoming raw water from open waters. Due to the strong internal flow, flocs are formed from the turbid matter, i.e. microparticles in the water.
FLOCCULATION
The water subsequently enters the flocculation zone. Sedimenting larger flocs are formed in the course of gentle processing. Specific polymers are added and accelerate the process.
- CLARIFICATION
The water thus processed flows uniformly through a hydraulically tuned inlet distributor into the actual MBR filter modules, where inclined lamellae retain the flocs from the water. The clarified water is drawn off at the surface by perforated immersion tubes and passed on to the sand filter. The thickened sludge is removed at regular intervals.
- FILTRATION
In a high-performance gravity sand filter, the remaining finer solids are filtered out of the water. This can optionally be processed by single-layer or multi-layer filters. The filter residues are drawn off at the bottom of the filter and the used filter elements are cleaned by themselves by continuous backwashing.
- DESINFECTION
Liquid or gaseous chlorine, or alternatively UV light, is used for disinfection.
